    Hello -

    I've been known to be a vi user for some 10+ years and I had used
    AbiWord only when I had to read MS Word files, until I found that
    AbiWord could be set to vi key binding. This feature is *very* useful
    to me.

    However, there is a problem... the key binding is not complete enough.

    Capital commands like W, B, etc. are not implemented. These are like
    lowercase counterparts but consider punctuation to be a part of the
    word.

    The dot command "." for repetition of the previous command is not
    implemented.

    The tabbing commands "<<" and ">>" are not implemented. They may not
    go very well with AbiWord's functionality, but I like to see << to
    eliminate whitespace at the beginning of the current line.

    The ~ command is not implemented.

    Can these additions be done?

    There are other features that would be nice to implement, but they are
    probably hard to implement and I won't request: named buffers, ex
    commands, etc :-)

    Thanks!

    Ryuji Suzuki
